Brother Michael Sky Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Eye of the Beholder__________________I am the eye of the beholder, the reason for sight,I am the sun's fresh dawning, in space's cold, dark night.I am the will-o-the-wisp drawing you towards all you've never seen.Do you hear my teasing questions as I float by?The answer to those questions will set you free.I am concentric rings of being, and I may only be understood from above.So toil, Brave One, give a day's honest work, and advance.Rise higher in the stream of humanity, float to the surface.Shed the Dream you revel in, awaken and feel the Truth which is ME.And you will know who you are. And you will know where WE are going.I AM the eye of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Cthulhu Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Yes, it is mine.... I wrote it yesterday.... anyone like it? Very much so! I'm especially in love with the imagery in your 6th line. Impressive! You seem to have a firm grasp in the fundamentals of poetry, obviously you write a bit. Do you have a writer's blog?LeRoy James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Michael Sky Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Very much so! I'm especially in love with the imagery in your 6th line. Impressive! You seem to have a firm grasp in the fundamentals of poetry, obviously you write a bit. Do you have a writer's blog?LeRoy JamesNo, I write for myself. To allow certain thoughts out, if you will... I have been published in varied places, only because my family will submit things they are particularly fond of... I've never tried to publish anything...Sometimes however, amongst the stacks of poetry I have, something will call to me... I'll drag them out and show a few people... but usually I write something, show a few people, and in the stacks it goes.....I am aware of the guidelines for poetry.... I have indeed studied the process of writing poetry.... however, my poetry does not come to me in classical forms. I receive my inspiration in a stream of thought and seldom make changes... I usually have a thought which i must capture to be free of the compulsion... once it's released, I can go back to other things...Thank you for your appreciation, I still don't honestly know why I feel compelled to share certain of my poems, but appreciation is nice....

Brother Michael Sky Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) A Momentary Graceby Brother Michael------------------Though I feel those Passions stirring,whispering from the dark, inferring -that since I know this soul so well,I must insist to desist somehow.My Heart is ever Weary,while my eyes have gone all bleary,and I Long for just onesomewhat subtle Touch.A familiar, brief, but lingering touch,that calms the soul who's seen too much,and suffers for the sufferingIt once bore.That touch which draws the attention toThe Moment - not the Moment's due.The slick and slitheringCalm before the Storm.That Moment when the walls could fall,"I see the wolves, and damn them all"That Moment which is Harbinger of Change.Yes, I feel those Passions stirring,whispering from the dark - inferringAnd i'm SO aware that in a Moment'sChoice is Fate.Fate would have me travelling on,an endless string of Dusk til Dawn,Living life with Blindness as my guide.I must be the Pilot here, forThere's noone else who "gets" my weird,There's noone else who can lead meTo my Home.Because I feel those Passions stirring,I'm aware of Live's recurring,And I understand the WHY Behind my HOW.Yet I long for another Touchwithin That Moment.....this one's a bit greasy folks.... hope you like it...

RevRainbow Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Sorry for my late response...I like 'em, both, especially the greasy one which sort of reminds me of E.A. Poe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
